KNOCKDOWN GARMENT-STAND.

Application filed July 6, 1916. Serial No. 107,759.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANNA E. BIENSTOCK, a citizen of Austria, and a resident of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Knockdown Garment-Stands, of which the followlng 1s a specification.

This invention relates to a knockdown garment stand of novel construction, more' particularly adapted to the requirements of families having limited accommodations. The stand is light, may be readily moved about, and is well adapted to replace wardrobes or similar expensive and heavy articles of furniture.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a longitudinal central section partly in side view of a garment stand embodying my invention;

Fig. 2, a bottom view of the top detached;

Fig. 8, a cross section on line 3-3 Fig. 1, and

Fig. at, a detail of portion of the curtain.

The device comprises essentially, a squared upright post 1, mounted on a base 2 composed of a plurality of radiating legs having casters 3. Upon the upper flattened portions of legs 2, there is supported a tray 1, which has a central squared aperture for the reception of post 1, over which the tray is adapted to be slipped.

Upon the top of post 1, there is mounted 'a head or top piece 5, provided with a downwardly projecting rim 6, and an upwardly projecting rim 7 Across the lower side of head 5, extends a reinforcing strip or brace 8, shown to be made cruciform, and carrying a number of garment hooks 9. At the center, strip 8 is provided with a squared socket 10, adapted for the snug reception of the upper end of post 1.

A curtain 11, depending from a wire 12, envelops the stand, the wire being seated upon a ledge 13, extending outwardly from rim 6.

In assembling the parts, tray 4: is slipped over post 1, to rest upon feet 2, top 5 is fitted on the post to engage therewith by means of its socket 10, and wire 12, carrying the curtain 11, is tied around top 5 to rest on ledge 13. For dismembering the stand, top 5 is removed and tray 4; is slipped off the post.

The tray 4 is intended more particularly for the reception of shoes, while hat boxes may be placed upon top 5.

If desired, the top may be additionally attached to the post by means of a screw, that passes through the top and enters the upper end of the post.

It will be seen that my improved garment stand, is simple in construction, may be readily moved about, and is well adapted to replace wardrobes, or similar walled and more expensive articles.

I claim:

A knockdown garment stand comprising a base, a post extending upwardly therefrom, a top piece, a cruciform reinforcing brace secured to the loWer side of the top piece. said brace having a central socket adapted to be engaged by the upper end of the post, a plurality of hooks secured to the brace, a rim extending around the top piece, and a curtain depending from the rim.
